The Easton Mako M7 Ice Hockey Skates is a mid-price skate that fully utilizes Mako's "Natural Movement" theory for explosive speed. The Mako M7 skate uses Easton's True-Fit™ Last that delivers an incredibly anatomical fit profile that completely eliminates negative space within the boot. Using their EC50 Carbon Fiber Matrix, this boot molds like no other skate on the market while providing strategic support in key areas to maximize energy transfer.
The Extendon™ Tendon Guard features a durable yet very flexible design so that a player may achieve the optimal stride length all the way through the toe snap. Other tendon guards with a stiffer design inhibit players from doing so and thus holding the player back from getting every ounce of power possible out of each stride.
